 Do you want to get a clean head-to-tell? Sure. Sure? Oh, right. It's a spot of loss. American Girl dolls are costly for most Americans. But sales of the dolls are strong, even at a time when many people are concerned about the economy. Kaylee Chang has several American Girl dolls, including one that looks just like her. She and the doll wear the same kind of clothing. We got matching outfits and I love to match with my doll. And it makes me feel kind of cool because I have a friend just like me. We spoke with Kaylee and her mother, Leanne Weyland Chang, at the American Girl store in Tyson's Corner, Virginia. I have nine American Girl dolls all together because my mom's an awesome shopper. What I like about it is that it kind of brings back the innocence of the kids. They grow up too fast and so the American Girl allows her to just be a little girl a little bit longer. Kaylee got her first American Girl doll just after she was born. That was the beginning of her collection. A single American Girl doll sells for $100. Extra clothing can increase the cost. Valerie Tripp has written more than 30 American Girl books. She loves writing for eight-year-old girls. We wanted to speak to girls who were 8, 9, 10 years old and say whatever your passion is, whatever you're interested in right now, you know, hang on to that. She says most of them are reading by themselves for the first time. The ability to walk in somebody else's shoes is a wonderful life skill. And if you can read about someone who lived in a different time and kind of walk into her world, isn't that a wonderful way of, you know, learning? I'm Christopher Cruz.
